The minister, John Wigmore, said: "This is for everyone, but we especially want to make it possible for people who live on their own to be able to share in the celebrations. Community is a major theme of the coronation and this public screening is our contribution with the support of the Winklebury and Manydown Community Action Group (WMCAG)."
Doors open at 10.30am in time for the main procession to Westminster Abbey and the service at 11am. Free drinks and cake will be provided throughout.
If the weather is fine, there will be a bouncy castle outside for children to enjoy. The event also incorporates the popular annual Plant Sale for charity in the garden. Last year's sale raised about £1,000 for the Ukraine appeal.
The minister adds: "The celebration continues on Sunday 7 May when our three gatherings will mark the coronation. Join us at 9am (St Thomas's in Worting), 10.30am (Good Shepherd, Winklebury Centre) or 6pm (St Thomas's)."
